My work is influenced by life experiences gained whilst living in Europe, Asia and Africa. The relationship between an individual and how they function in society can be both supportive and restraining. Cultures are manmade and there are more commonalties between them than differences. It is the former that I aim to incorporate in my art by using elements that can be expressed visually, but which are not culturally embedded. Colour and experimentation are an important aspect of my work as is the use of traditional methodologies whilst using contemporary materials.
